Sustainable Dairy Development

Our focus is on Nigeria, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia and Ethiopia, where we are committed to meeting the needs of the present population, without compromising opportunities for future generations. Our ambitions for sustainable international dairy development are aligned to the UN's sustainable development goals.

This is one of many positive impacts the Milky Way Partnership Nigeria is having on dairy farmer Alhaji Sani Aliyu. And he’s not alone. Over 76 small dairy farmers, one medium sized farmer and the National Animal Production Research Institute in Nigeria are experiencing the beginnings of a better future.

“As well as making a commitment to grow our business in the long term, primarily through the import of nutritious dairy products made from our European farmer owners’ milk, we initiated the Milky Way Partnership. It is our commitment to Nigeria that our business activities will not have a negative impact on local dairy farmers or their communities."

The selection of the farmers who were invited to be involved with the project was given great consideration, and a variety of farmers, in differing scenarios, were chosen to test the model’s ability to be scaled up and transferred to different areas in the country. This was done in collaboration with Milcopal, a local dairy cooperative, already experienced with working with local farmers and sharing Arla’s cooperative values.

“Milk quality and quantity is imperative for development of the dairy sector; therefore, training farmers to help them to produce more milk of better quality is a driving force to convert milk production into a business for farmers. And this is essentially what the project aims to achieve; a socially, environmentally and economically sustainable dairy supply chain that allows both small farmers and large companies to produce and deliver their products to the market.
